- Abstract:
- A collection of two treatises: 1. Kashf al-asrār ʻan ḥikam al-ṭuyūr wa-al-azhār "Unveiling of secrets on the sagacity of birds and flowers" (folios 1a-47a), a treatise on sufism, in the form of "maqāmah" genre, by ʻIzz al-Dīn ʻAbd al-Salām ibn Ghānim al-Maqdisī (died 1279? in Cairo), a ṣūfī author, preacher and poet. Copied in the middle of Jumādá al-ākhir (31 March, 1657). Name of copyist and place of copying not mentioned. 2. Naẓm "Muthallath Quṭrub" (folios 47b-52b), by Ibrāhīm ibn Sulaymān al-Azʹharī al-Ḥanafī, active 1688, a little known author (See Brockelmann: G II, 215; Suppl. I, 161: "al-Manẓūmah al-sannīyah fī bayān al-asmāʼ al-lughawīyah" [Illustrious poem presenting the linguistic nouns]). The treatise is a versification of "al-Muthallath" of Quṭrub (Muḥammad ibn al-Mustanīr, died 821 or 822, a well-known grammarian and philologist, from Baṣrah, Iraq), enumerating the trilateral homonyms in Arabic which have different meanings according to the three Arabic vowels (fatḥah, ḍammah, kasrah). Quṭrub was the first author to write on the "Muthallath" genre. The author added to the materials of "Muthallāth Quṭrub" words which he selected from extensive dictionaries, such as "Ṣiḥāḥ al-Jawharī". Copied by Ḥusayn ibn Munlā Yūsuf al-Naqshabandī (?).

- Abstract:
- Collection of treatises on magic, astrology, alchemy and Sufism: 1. On the magical qualities of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, their numerical values and their categorization into fire, air, water and earth letters, in Ottoman Turkish (folios1a-2a). 2. Talisman (folio 2a), in Arabic. The copyist (Tawakkulī Muṣṭafá) claims to have seen this talisman in the year 1162 Hijrī (1748/1749) and copied it in Jumād Thānī, 1175 Hijrī (1761/1762). 3. Miftāḥ Kitāb Sāmūr Hindī (Key to the book of the Indian Sāmūr" (folios 2b-22a), by Darwīsh Fatʹḥ Allāh Rūmī (could not be identified), in Ottoman Turkish, an elaborate work on numerology with magic squares. The alleged author "Sāmūr Hindī" (or "Shaykh Sāmūr") could not be identified (probably a fictitious name). Copied in Jumād Awwal, 1188 Hijrī (July/August, 1774). Name of copyist and place of copying not mentioned. 4. Chronology (Silsilah "Chain") of some Sufi order in Ottoman Turkish (folio 22b). 5. Sketch of the zodiac with several magical astronomical tables "zāyirjahs" (folios 23a-26b). 6. Alchemy recipes (27a-29b) on how to convert base metals into gold, in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish. Copied in Shaʻbān 1187 Hijrī (October/November 1773) by Tawakkulī Muṣṭafá. Place of copying not mentioned. 7. Second collection of alchemy recipes (folios 30b-33a). The author wrote at the beginning of these recipes that they were given to him by Sharīf Sayyidī Ḥasan of Diyār Bakr (Diyarbakır, Turkey) in the year 1172 Hijrī (September/October, 1758), at the rate of two words a month. The alleged Sharīf lived after that for fourteen years and died in Muḥarram 1185 Hijrī (April/May, 1771) before being able to finish the alchemy process. 8. Taswīdah (folio 33b), a short alchemy recipe copied on 22 Rajab, 1230 Hijrī (30 June, 1815) by ʻAbd Allāh Muḥammad Luṭfī.
